George Bush in no grenade shocker!

According to this article on NBC, a speech by George Bush was brought to a halt yesterday when a grenade wasn't thrown into the crowd.

With this fascinating story in mind, I felt the world needed to know about events in Central London today:

Tony Blair Speech Marred By Absence Of 17 Shots Fired!

Today in Downing St, during a speech by Tony Blair, seventeen rifle shots weren't fired. The first shot was not fired as the Prime Minister began to outline his plans for the next four years. Security forces surrounding the Prime Minister reacted instantly to the lack of any threat, but were unable to stop a further sixteen rounds failing to be unleashed in the direction of the Premier.

Further concern was raised when Michael Howard, until recently the leader of the Conservative Party, didn't take one of the shots full in the chest. As he didn't lie bleeding on the floor, he wasn't heard to say 'Blood - save the precious blood!'

Cherie Booth and the Prime Minister's children weren't quickly rushed into 10 Downing St, where they didn't remain until the absence of threat wasn't eliminated. The Home Office issued no statement, declining to confirm that there was no reason for alarm, and failed to add that the gunman's inactions were independent, and a terrorist group could not be blamed for the absence of incident.

An update on the situation will follow in the morning.


excellent!


My apologies - the US media has now decided the grenade was thrown, it was live and it could have killed the President. Which just shows that America is the land of opportunity - there's still hope for everyone.
